Certified Associate in Project Management (CAPM) — Question 99

A project manager has the task of determining the deliverables for a six-month project using a predictive approach. How should the project manager determine which processes to include in the project management plan?

Answer options

• A. Identify the processes and deliverables for only the current phase first.
• B. Discuss the processes and deliverables needed to meet the project objectives with the team.
• C. Integrate hybrid approach processes and deliverables to meet the short delivery time line.
• D. Follow organizational methodology and produce all required deliverables.

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is B because discussing with the team ensures that all necessary processes and deliverables are identified to meet project objectives comprehensively. Option A is incorrect as it limits the focus to only the current phase, neglecting the overall project needs. Option C is not suitable because integrating hybrid processes may not align with a purely predictive approach. Option D, while seemingly correct, may overlook specific project needs by adhering strictly to organizational methodology without tailoring to the project's unique context.
